In order to deliver the best final product for manuscripts, I recommend proofreading in addition to copyediting or structural editing. For clients choosing more than one editing service for a project, I give a 10% discount.

For all services, I’ll do a no-cost, no-obligation sample edit of several paragraphs in order to determine the level of editing required. If you agree with my evaluation and editing style and choose to proceed, I’ll provide a contract for the project, which will include a time frame for completion.
